Outrage: Local Gov’t Spraying Organic Gardens in Middle of the Night Without Consent

When does the government have a right to take actions affecting citizens’ property without their permission?  Obviously, that’s a hotly-debated question that’s not easy to answer, and there is neither the time nor space in this forum to do the topic justice.  So I’ll just let you watch this video and give you some questions you might want to consider, with my current thinking in brief.

• Should the government be able to spray this woman’s fields without her permission?  (Hardly.  They just destroyed her ability to offer “organic” vegetables to her customers.)

• Is the real motive for doing this spraying different from, or in addition to, the “official” explanation?  (Quite possibly.)

• Is there a connection between what’s going on here and what appears to be mass spraying from airplanes over vast areas of the country?  (Hmmmm.  That would require a level of coordination and organization among government agencies beyond what they are typically capable of.  On the other hand…  What do you think?)
